I would watch this very well sourced video before donating to the TST and its leadership.
Time to post 10 commandments in Arabic and watch MAGA meltdown
Not even that complicated; just invite a religious scholar to explain what Jesus said, starting with caring for hungry people and immigrants and in general literally just what he taught and what he cared about
They'll shut that shit down like a female student with unpermitted clothing
Wouldn't even be the first time this month that a bunch of religious zealots and government thugs stormed a school full of peace-loving hippies and dragged them off by their hair.
Re-reading the first four makes it seem like God is a very insecure individual.
The Big Ten were written at a time when paganism/animism was the dominant religious view and the idea of monotheism was weird and foreign. You really had to hammer those home early on, because one minute you're up on a mountain having the acid trip spiritual moment to define a millennium and the next you're down in the valley watching all your friends jerk off to a big bronze bull just like you told them not to!
When your parish flock is that prone to stray, I'm almost surprised they don't have a few more.
Quick! I NEED someone to shoot up a bunch of 6 year olds so I can PRETEND to Care about the Constitution again!
You have to be careful, though. In the wrong hands, philosophy can be a dangerous thing.
Keep promoting ideas like "Thou Shalt Not Kill", "Keep the Sabbath Holy", and "Don't Worship False Idols", and people might start thinking all our wars, our insane work schedules, and our fetishistic consumer culture aren't good.
Given the habits of your average Louisiana legislator, you might want to scrap the Seventh Commandment entirely.
